All the high-speed motors are strictly controlled during manufacturing, before shipping.
Material reception
While receiving it, it is necessary to verify motor condition and if it has not been damaged
in transit. Remove it carefully from its packaging. Verify that the data written on the label
are the same as the ones on the acknowledgement of order, and that all documents or

with for handling operations. Never use cables, connectors, input/output of
cooling circuit, or any other inappropriate lifting device.
The picture hereunder shows the correct way for handling the high-speed motors.
4.1.3.
Before being mounted, the high-speed motor has to be stored in a dry place, without hard
temperature variation in order to avoid condensing.
Storage
During storage, the ambient temperature must be kept between -20 and +50°C.
If the high-speed motor has to be stored for a long time, verify that the shaft end, feet and
the flange are coated with corrosion proof product.
After a long storage duration (more than 3 month), run the motor at low speed in both
directions, in order to blend the bearing grease spreading.
The motor is delivered with caps for the water inlet and outlet to protect the cooling circuit.
Keep them on place until the motor commissioning.
DANGER: Choose the correct slings for the motor weight. The two slings
must the same length and a minimum angle of 50° has to be respected
between the motor axis and the slings.
